I have tried colinux. I was never smart enough to make it work. The networking never worked, and without that, X wouldn't start. I guess you don't need X, but you do need the network connection to run a server. I didn't know about VMWare server. I have always used Workstation, which is about $189, if I recall correctly. Running a server may technically violate the terms-of-service for his internet connection. It does mine. That, and the fact that my connection is not 24/7 has kept me from setting up a build sever. I am currently experimenting with EV-DO wireless, but while it is faster than dialup, it disconnects me without notice quite often. It is not intended for heavy-duty use. I do have a serious question, which I will get around to asking eventually, but I will start a new thread for it. Thanks for being tolerant of the new guy--ME. --MArk Allums Received on 2008-02-19 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
